Any Scary Flying Stories Out There?
by Englishman inher ladyship and i are musing on the idea of having a weeks break in late october, so we now have to decide where we will spend it.. it will probably be madeira again.
it's clean, warm, the people are pro-british and the island is stunningly beautiful.
we love the levada walks, the food is delish and cheap, a 3 course meal for 2 with wine is less than 20 pounds.

Many years ago,in the days before the millstone called a mortgage,and having a lifelong love of airplanes,I decided I was going to learn to fly.
The first few lessons went fine and I loved it,however the instrutor for some reason didnt fill me with confidence,call it a gut feeling,Im not sure,but it was there.
Now I dont want to knock this instrutor too much as he was a decent sort of chap,and after I had done a few landings he suggested we fly to another airfield not far away,and do a couple of touch and go landings.
For the non air minded people, a touch and gois where you land the airplane,keep rolling and take off again straight away.
Well everything went fine,I flew the plane to the airfield(Sandown Isle of white)and as I had never landed there before the instructor suggested he make the first landing to show me the approach,as it was a fairly small grass landing strip,with trees at the far end.
As we started the landing approach,I thought this isnt right,but being the humble novice it thought it best to keep quiet.
I was right!,we came in too fast,the wheels hit the ground,there was a scream of overshootby the instrutor into the radio,we bounced back up into the air,by this time I had shut my eyes,thinkingplease god I dont wanna die,there was a thump,and on opening my eyes,saw a lump of tree hanging off the undercarriage,and the instrutor wearing a sheepish grin.
I took up sailing after that!.
p.s.Sorry about my spelling!.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?
by jst2laws injoy2bfree and i have so enjoyed meeting over 70 of the posters here on jwd in the last few months.
this has brought us even closer to many, yet the things i learned about each made me even more concerned about others here.
i hope each is getting what they need from this cyberpub we visit.

As many of you know,I had a religious upbringing,however I could always make my own mind up and make my own choices,I struggled,but I did find some answers and I am at peace with myself.
The reason I think this site is brilliant,and the reason I come to it,is that I have been shocked and educated to the pain that folks have to go through,to make their minds up,I find it incredible that so much mind control can be asserted on an individual,I find it almost immoral,everybody should be allowed to choose what they want to believe in,and respected for that,not told!.
I hope I dont cause any offense by saying this.
On the lighthearted side,I havnt found a site for slightly deranged vicars sons,
and Termite,you know where the JW crush is.
